Call the game. This is dangerous! We win via forfeit.

Looked like he bunted at it. Replay?

I really think Hawk should be the TV announcer for the Twins next year. He would wet his pants every game with excitement.

Not a bad pitch by Danks. Morneau was cheating and opened up.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 08:19 PM) Minnesota's crowd is pathetic. Shhhhhh. They're watching the game.

Sometimes it looks like Swisher is swinging a wet newspaper.

Interesting strike 3 call.

This is exciting. We gave up practically nothing. Richar is out with the emergence of Alexei. If anything it adds new life and energy to the team with a Hall of Famer coming in. I do have my concerns with Griff in CF but hopefully he can prove me wrong. He is still very athletic for his age. This may have been brought up, but do we still have him under contract for next year? If so, I see Thome gawn.

Sources told Baseball Prospectus' John Perrotto that Manny Ramirez is on the verge of being traded to the Marlins for three players. Perrotto says one of them is top outfield prospect Mike Stanton. Baseball Prospectus isn't the best source for breaking news, but Perrotto is a veteran reporter for the Beaver County Times and is pretty trustworthy. Still, it's worth noting that Ramirez is still in the game for the Red Sox. Jul. 30 - 7:37 pm et

Wow. Didn't see that coming although I am not surprised Ivan was traded.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 10:15 PM) Sounds like Ozzie's about to go on a huge rant. I actually support him sticking up for his players here...but he doesn't have to be such a tool about it. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...1,1504762.story That will be epic and would love to be there to see it live.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 10:10 PM) Just makes it a wee bit harder to do when you don't win one of the first two. Hopefully Danks gets fully back on track. He looked better in his last start than his 1st after the break.

If that was a dig, it's ridiculous. Not too many "pretenders" sit in 1st place for 100 days....even if they eventually blow it.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 09:01 PM) His should be replacements had some nice swings too. Paulie still killed us with his defense tonight, and shouldn't keep playing based on a single and a hard out. Richard pitched over his gaffe. Anderson's throw in the 5th hurt us more, assuming Gomez wouldn't of stolen 2nd if held at 1st.

I win. QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 08:56 PM) Why Ozzie kept Richard in for Morneau instead of bringing in Thornton is beside me. Hindsight is 20/20. Nobody can convince me Thornton would of gotten Morneau out. The guy is clutch in those situations no matter who is on the hill.

We all know Ozzie pulled BA tonight because is loyalty to the Communist party.

Saw that coming for Q.

Too bad Thornton gave up that run.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 08:49 PM) That is quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Yup, and sounds totally made up.

Let's make it easy for Joe.

whitesoxbrian probably has his LOSER thread ready to hit ADD THREAD.

QUOTE (FranktheTank35 @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 08:38 PM) Ballgame. Let's get 'em tomorrow, please? I can't stand being swept, especially in a 4 game series against the second place team. If we get swept, it will be by a 1st place team.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 08:34 PM) Fantastic managing by Gardenhire here, as he's trying to prevent Ozzie from using AJP by showing Breslow in the pen. If Hall gets up this inning, AJ will be PHing.
